In 2013, London Underground will be 150 years old. At London Transport Museum we’re in the process of collecting contemporary material related to the Underground, to create a time capsule of what the Tube is like and what it means to people around this significant anniversary. Curator Jen Kavanagh and Filmmaker Geoff Marshall spent a day at Tooting Broadway station in February 2011, capturing the sights, sounds, comings and goings, from gates opening to the last train.
